I also loved their beef wrap; tender marinated beef paired with fresh veggies wrapped in soft flatbread, simple but super flavorful. Sadly, I didn't get to try khinkali (the Georgian soup dumplings locals call "Georgian buns") because they sold out early that day, so I'll have to come back earlier next time. I ordered the national dish Adjaruli khachapuri, the iconic boat cheese bread. It's authentic and packed with melted cheese and runny egg yolk, but it's pretty heavy and rich--best shared with others if you don't have a huge appetite.

Came with my husband on a Saturday evening for date night…read more The ambiance of this spot is really cute and cozy. Very intimate and perfect for a date. They have two tasting menus (omnivorous and vegetarian) which I appreciate. We both chose the omnivorous. Portions are tiny but there's a lot of courses. A huge downside for us was how long in between courses there was. We were getting pretty hungry at one point and our conversation fell into a lull because we were just eager for food lol. The experience was around 3.5 hours. It would have been a lot better if it stuck to 2 hours. Maybe 3 max. Food was beautifully presented and quite tasty though!

One creative dish after another, each exciting my palate in new and different ways, mixing unexpected ingredients together for a surprisingly refreshing experience The restaurant itself kept one's eyes busy, a semi-mediaeval ambience reinforced the feeling of being someplace special, even exotic. The service was excellent and also very friendly. The server doubled as a bartender and was eager to create interesting concoctions on demand, lending his own creativity to the process.

Every little detail is amazing. They made our night very special hands down. The food was phenomenal. Everything so fresh. I loved that a lot of the seasonal things I grow myself was also on their menu. The wine pairings were good, but like most things, wines are subjective to personal taste. And last but certainly not least, inside the restaurant was absolutely beautiful. A very intimate affair and it was nice that the you could see them cooking and preparing your food. The chef explained everything about the meal before you started. Definitely will be going as much as possible while we still reside in the state.

The reservation is for 7pm but you can arrive as early as 615pm to explore the gardens, wine cellar, and library, as well as get a welcome (non-alcoholic) refreshing beverage. All of the staff were introduced and they explained both the food menu and the wine pairings. During the meal, there's a live guitarist playing classical takes on tunes. Everyone is super polite, they commented on my Labubu and their custom (hand knit!) hat - shoutout to Rosalee for the Labubu hat. Here's the menu and the pairings. My thoughts were that the peas stood out but otherwise it was a forgettable meal. The space is nice and the ingredients are high quality, but I don't know if the price was fully justified by the overall experience. I think it was like $325/person plus service and tax fees?

What a delectable meal after a 4 hour bus ride Came here…read moreafter dropping off our bags at the hotel, since it was just a 5 minute walk away. We came in around 1:45pmish and it wasn't crowded. They had an amazing selection of pastries, though I didn't try any. I got their Caramelized Banana Latte to satisfy my sweet tooth, and it wasn't too banana-flavored nor too sweet; the black sesame in it balanced it nicely. I also got the Urban Pesto, which was SO yum. I was little skeptical of the focaccia - sometimes I find it to be too puffy, and thus hard to eat the sandwich - but this had a lovely panini press on it that made it easy to eat. The in-house herby cheese in the sandwich made each bite just that much more delicious. The staff was also super nice and accommodating to my parents' requests and questions. Can't wait to come back to try their other food and bev options!

I appreciated that this location has both spacious indoor and outdoor seating. Despite being busy, this was not packed with ample seating still available and not cramped. Nice chill vibe with good music, healthy foliage and pleasant indoor decor, with a reasonable unidirectional service line. Tempting pastry case with savory and sweet choices, the usual bevs, as well as, cocktails. Vibrant place to visit solo or meetups with others. The 16oz iced mokka (mocha) I had was well crafted. Both counter folks were personable and welcoming. I was able to sit at a two top and remain cool during my brief visit on that hot Tuesday early afternoon. They've been an indie (Cafe Hagen/Freya) that has expanded to many locations: here in SLU, two on Queen Anne, downtown on 5th, at Dexter, the Waterfront, Freya in Pike Place Market and Nordic Museum in Ballard, plus sites over in Bellevue and Kirkland. Support local!

The chicken tika masala puts every other version I've had to shame, rich with visible herbs. The rice is fluffy, the meats are well seasoned. I love the lamb! The owners check on diners and are happy to explain dishes. The walls are adorned with beautiful fabric tapestries and the interior has a cozy feel. Most of the dishes they make are inherently gluten-free and they are thoughtful about labeling.

I crave Mediterranean food from time time. I heard this place reopened and offers lunch buffet…read more 3 of us visited for lunch on Saturday with no reservation. We were seated right away. There were a few other people at 11:30am We asked if they do lunch buffet as I didn't see any self serve food. The staff said they offered in the past but not today.. it might come back in 2 weeks? We ordered hummus, garlic naan, fish masala and special kebabs without lamb which was accommodated per our request. The food even the side veggies were really good, we all liked everything. I like this place for good quality fresh ingredients that I don't feel overstuffed. It's probably because the food is easy to digest? This doesn't happen with other Mediterranean and Indian food. I'd like to come back when they start lunch buffet again.

We got a couple of drinks (wine for $10 a glass, negroni for $10), the rigatoni ($15), garlic bread ($6), and arugula salad ($11). The rigatoni was my favorite - well sauced and perfectly al dente. The garlic bread was my least favorite - I'd skip it and use your carbs elsewhere. Service was solid - we sat at the bar and felt well taken care of. It does seem like it's best for small groups and not large parties though, so keep that in mind. Also try to make a reservation as they said they were booked up. Parking in the area is not great, so keep that in mind! Overall, a great experience and I'd definitely come back!
